Smokehead Rum Cask Rebel Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 46%)
When the Islay rebel meets its rum cask cousin, the familiar peaty punch of Smokehead is given a sweet and furious Caribbean jolt. Soothing citrus and tropical fruits. And is that marshmallow and bacon?
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Hanging out in Caribbean rum casks gives this Smokehead a jolt of immense smoke and fiery peat, followed by soothing citrus and tropical fruits. And is that marshmallow and bacon in there…?
Taste: Face down a fearlessly rich and peaty punch, thick oils and bracing sea spray, tempered with dried spices, banana and dark wood.
Finish: The safety of dry land is in sight. Notes of caramel and cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, add a delicate contrast to the lingering smokiness.
